I missed this. :(

Seriously though, I was going to post something similar when I noticed the build-up programme on ITV1. Everything Chiles and Southgate will mind-numbingly pore over is not only available in more detail through a quick click on even the lowest-rent football websites, the fact that you have to sit through it with this standard of chump makes it all the more worthless. Realising once again that it now takes place on the same day as other big fixtures and not even at 15:00 just makes you long for 2001 again.

Or maybe not. Fucking Lil' Mickey.

Liverpool will probably win on pels. Again.

I think when Sky Sports used to have the FA Cup Final, they'd start they build-up from waaaay early in the morning, wouldn't they? A cook-off between Gordon Ramsey and Ainsley Harriott, one being Chelsea, the other Arsenal. Soccer AM Special. A few interviews with wrestlers, of all things (they had to sew together FOUR Arsenal shirts to make one big enough to fit the Big Show as he faced off with Bradshaw donning the Chelsea colours). A few more bits n bobs (perhaps to do with how often Arsenal and Chelsea had played in the final). Someone mentions Ricky Villa. A few fans' predictions. Then the kig kick-off. And that was only 10 years ago.

If LFC win FA Cup it would be Dalglish's 28th major honour at club. CFC have won 22 trophies in their history. :lol:


As usual, I'd quite like to win this one.

Torres dropped :lol:.

Bellamy starts for Liverpool.

Big Man, Ash, Dids and Lampsy all starting.

Spearing.

Spearing.

Team picks itself really.

No honestly, team picks itself. Manager can't get a look-in.

Big Man. :bow:
